Last summer I had spent…

Photo Caption: Last summer I had spent months researching and made plans to hike to a permitted location in the Eastern Sierra’s.. I got permits and waited months for this trip only to be turned back when I was sick and by really inclement weather.. When I researched the trip and planned it, I had only seen one photo of the Milky Way there... unfortunately now there have been tons of shots from there so I have less inclination to want to make the tough journey although I might try again this year... have you ever planned a trip and had it not go according to plan like this?

This photo was taken that same week on a different night thanks to a suggestion by @cartermurphyphoto. I can recall the cold I was fighting that week and hiking even the short few miles round trip was difficult and cold, in spite of it being end of May! My bag had frost on it by the time we hiked out; I think it was in the 20s at that point.. although this wasn’t my first choice, it’s definitely not a bad alternative!
